The influences of R&B, Soul and Funk are reflected through her music, as well as colors of pop. Some of her inspirations include Nina Simone, Anderson .Paak, Earth Wind and Fire, Sade, and Elton John.

In her short time in LA, Emeryld has released an EP and 5 singles toppling over half a million streams for “Sweet Amnesia”, alone. Her latest single, “Honey Bee” is continuously gaining traction and has recently been placed on Spotify’s Discover Weekly and Your Daily Mix. Emeryld has also had the opportunity to perform at some iconic venues + festivals such as SXSW, Austin City Limits, Soho House Malibu, the House of Blues, The Peppermint Club, and Live Nation’s One’s To Watch.
